OT- Anyone with c-section horror stories?

I was just wondering for those who have had c-sections if you have had anything go wrong, as in your bladder cut open?

My sister had her baby last night and they cut her bladder open, and had to rush baby off to another hospital for breathing problems (38 weeks). It took them two hours to repair her bladder. She hasn't seen her daughter as of yet. She has to stay for 4 days (usually 2 now). Baby is fine now, and daddy is picking her up tomorrow to bring her back to mommy.

Also, from what I heard, they are feeding her formula when my sister breastfeeds. She is producing no milk.

Half of this is hearsay, I have not been able to get a hold of my sister directly. I was thinking baby had meconium (sp) but I'm told it's from them cutting her bladder open? I'm confused and can't get in touch with my sister until tomorrow.

Sorry not a HT.

Wow! I've never heard of that happening. I had a C-section because my daughter was breech and it went beautifully. I'm sorry about what happened to your sister. I hope her and baby girl get back together for bonding and get the breastfeeding going.

When my BFF had her emergency c-section the doctor cut her daughter a bit by accident. I don't know how, but he did it (well I know how, but I don't know how). She has a little scar on the back of her arm there.

I hope your sister gets well quickly and can be with her baby.

The same thing happened to a friend of mine. They nicked her son's face, slightly above his eye. He also has a scar and whenever I think about it, it freaks me out to think about how close they came to cutting his actual eye.

Sorry to hear about your sister. I'll be hoping for a speedy recovery for her and baby.

As for horror stories, my aunt had to have an emergency c-section because her son was going into fetal stress and his heart rate was out of control. They got him out just fine, but when they sewed her back up, somehow a piece of the surgical equipment got left behind! That is the worst thing I have ever heard, personally. She had to have 2 different surgeries to fix the damage it caused.

Yes, it was definitely lucky he didn't cut his eye. I am generally pretty paranoid about having to have a c-section, but my friend willingly had two elective c-sections after that. It didn't really seem to bother her much, which I find interesting. I would have been a ball of nerves going into those second two!

I had to have a c-section because my placenta abrupted during my induction. (had severe preeclampsia at 33 weeks) I ended up with general anesthesia and woke up terrified and sick as a dog throwing up. Wasn't able to hold my son for 48hrs. :(

That reminds me, my mom was telling me the other day that a woman she used to work with had a bunch of gauze left in her uterus and sewed up. I guess she had awful smells and discharge before they ever realized, it was pretty bad and she ended up getting a hysterectomy. This was years and years ago though. If it happened now at least they would've gotten rich off it. Lol.

That's horrible. I just feel so bad for my sister, she is such a good mom, and she hasn't even been able to see her own daughter yet. I would freak out. At least when my daughter had to go to the NICU I got to see her for a while first, and then go with her (vaginal).

After both of my sections I developed horrible infections at the site which developed into abscesses. The second was so bad they had to open my incision to drain it and I was in the hosp. For a week on heavy duty antibiotics, high fever, etc. Luckily they let my six week old board with me.

Wow, 6 c-sections? Maybe that had something to do with it. Maybe an excess of scar tissue? I always thought three c-sections should be the typical limit as after that it gets more and more dangerous to both mom and baby. I hope she recovers soon.
